158: In other words, I am a milk dragon?
One gold, one white; one large, one small—two giant Dragons were passing through the black vortex, diving into the depths of the Gui Xu Realm Abyss.
Li Yan noticed that the Dragon girl Ao Jiao's gaze was constantly fixed on his face.
Had this Dragon girl been suppressed here for too long, never seeing other members of her kind, to be acting so eagerly?
To be honest, Li Yan had no interest in interspecies romance.
I, Li Yan, am not Xu Xian, and besides, Xu Xian's wife could at least transform into a Human Race.
But the Silver Ancient Dragon beside him was a colossal being, an ancient Vicious Beast.
His Dragon Soul Golden Body was only over 1,300 meters long, appearing particularly miniature compared to the thousand-li long white giant Dragon beside him.
As he continued to dive, Li Yan began to ponder something.
"Logically speaking, the length of my Dragon Soul Golden Body can only be considered that of a juvenile among Ancient Dragons."
"This white Dragon wouldn't be so desperate, would she? To forcefully take me?"
"Furthermore, does my juvenile form count as a baby Dragon?"
Hmm?
After circling back, Li Yan realized his Dragon Soul Golden Body was considered a baby Dragon among Ancient Dragons?
And ever since Li Yan transformed into his Dragon Soul Golden Body, Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao, who had previously looked down on everything, became much more enthusiastic.
"Youngster, where is your true body? Why do you appear in Dragon Soul form?"
"Sister has recovered some of her strength; she can completely protect you. You don't need to be afraid. You can tell me anything."
"Where are your father and mother? Are there any other Ancient Dragons still alive in the Immortal Cultivation World?"
The Silver Ancient Dragon circled around Li Yan, advancing in a spiral, protecting Li Yan's 'tiny' Dragon Soul in the center.
Li Yan knew she wouldn't believe him, so he told Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao very directly.
"I am a Human Race."
Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao immediately retorted, "No, you are a descendant of the Dragon Clan! The ability to transform into a Dragon proves everything!"
"I really am a Human Race, don't disbelieve me."
"No, you truly are a descendant of the Dragon Clan, believe me."
Her large golden eyes stared intently at Li Yan.
"Let me tell you this: perhaps your parents hid your identity to protect you."
"Judging by the Dragon scale patterns on your body, you are a descendant of the Ancient Dragon King Clan!"
"Look, the Dragon patterns on your body are definitely those of the Yanhuang Dragon Clan."
Ah?
Listening to Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao's words, Li Yan fell into contemplation.
There was some truth to what she said; he, a Transmigration, truly was a descendant of the Dragon.
So, what the textbooks said since childhood, that we are all descendants of the Dragon, was it true?
This transformation into the Dragon Soul Golden Body didn't seem random but was based on the Soul's characteristics.
And Li Yan's Dragon Soul Golden Body's Dragon scale patterns were exactly the same as those of the Ancient Dragon King Clan's Dragon patterns.
Furthermore, he had golden scale Dragon patterns, which further highlighted his noble identity and Bloodline.
It was precisely because of these various features that one couldn't blame Dragon girl Ao Jiao's gaze for becoming fervent.
In the eyes of the Dragon Clan, Li Yan was undoubtedly of royal Bloodline, with a handsome Dragon head and magnificent Dragon scale patterns.
Such a noble Bloodline would make any Ancient Dragon stare without blinking.
Under Ao Jiao's flattery, Li Yan himself almost believed it—could there really be descendants of the Dragon in this world?
And Ao Jiao, who had been protecting Li Yan the entire time, greatly enjoyed the feeling of swimming freely in the deep sea.
For tens of thousands of years, her flesh had been hooked by the Dragon Binding Chain, constantly festering under the Shi Yin Blessing.
For the long life of an Ancient Dragon, her torment had only just begun.
But Li Yan releasing her had already given her more than enough surprise.
Now, her savior transforming into an Ancient Dragon King Clan was like her beloved stepping on auspicious colorful clouds to rescue her.
Especially the deep-sea journey, swimming freely with her 'kindred' in this place, two Dragons together.
This brought back Ao Jiao's childhood memories, of swimming with dozens of her kind in the East Sea.
In that era when Ancient Dragons ruled the world, in that savage era, when the Dragon Clan, as the strongest race, soared through the sky, the ancestors of the Human Race, a group of Little Beans, were still trembling and hiding in caves, afraid to come out.
Swimming in the deep sea, stirring the water, feeling the seawater brush against her Dragon scales.
Ao Jiao yearned for that era and enjoyed traveling with Li Yan.
Until they entered the depths of the vortex, Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao spoke, "Ahead is the Gui Xu Realm Abyss."
"The Old Heavenly Court is suppressed in this place."
Hearing that the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, where the Old Heavenly Court was located, was ahead, an excited look flashed in Li Yan's eyes.
Finally!
Finally found it!
Perhaps only the Old Heavenly Court could contend with the Immortals of White Jade Capital.
This was Li Yan's only hope!
Li Yan directly passed through that barrier, and in an instant, the world turned upside down!
Li Yan was clearly diving downwards, but upon entering the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, it was as if he was a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, emerging upwards from an underground cave.
When Li Yan entered the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, he found the entire world inverted, and a golden crow appeared above his head.
"This!?"
Li Yan looked around and found that the Spiritual Qi here was rich, and the surroundings were covered with Spiritual Plants.
Looking out, the Gui Xu Realm Abyss was like a paradise on earth.
Compared to the lifeless world outside, this was heaven!
"Is this the Gui Xu Realm Abyss? How is it that this underground world is the true human world?"
Li Yan, who rushed out of the cave, felt a little dazed, as if this was the true Immortal Cultivation World, and the place he had been before was a demonic lair.
Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao also followed Li Yan through the deep pit, appearing together in this Gui Xu Realm Abyss.
She seemed very familiar with everything here.
"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and nothing has changed. It truly is a place where time is stagnant."
Hearing this, Li Yan was puzzled, "Time stagnant?"
Seeing Little Bean Sprout curious about her words, Ao Jiao began to show off her knowledge in front of Li Yan.
"This Gui Xu Realm Abyss is a false mirror."
"Those who enter the Gui Xu Realm Abyss will neither age nor die; their lifespan will forever be fixed at the time they entered."
"Of course, one cannot Cultivate here either. Since one does not die, one also does not give birth."
"No one will grow old, but no new life will be born either; time is stagnant here."
Li Yan frowned. Neither giving birth nor dying—how did this Gui Xu Realm Abyss sound like a refuge for a group of lost dogs?
Never mind, first find the Old Heavenly Court.
Li Yan, unaccustomed to using his Dragon Soul Golden Body, silently willed itsRelease (dissolution), instantly returning to his Human Race appearance.
When Li Yan reverted to his Human Race form, Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
"Why change back into this Little Bean appearance? It's ugly and harms your dignity."
"You are of the Ancient Dragon King Clan; how can you become a Human Race? How can you acknowledge a thief as your father?"
"Quickly, change back!"
Ao Jiao was very displeased to see Li Yan change back into a Little Bean.
Transforming into a Dragon, how pleasing to the eye that was! A handsome little Dragon with golden patterned Dragon scales.
Changing into a Human Race...
Ao Jiao's face was full of disdain; she still preferred to see Li Yan in his Dragon Soul form.
Just then, Li Yan felt several powerful Qi approaching.
Dragon girl Ao Jiao also sensed the danger and immediately coiled her Dragon body, shielding Li Yan beneath her.
